Well as you can see in the video the Chief runs great. I guess it's all up to the driver now. My job is to design it and make it fast, I did that. ) The video was shot at 4000 feet above sea level. My customer claims it's 10 mph faster at sea level.

It's a gorgeous hull and looks great on the water running on it's own.

My question is more related to how it performs in racing conditions against other sport hydros. Some things you just can't tell watching a boat on open water. For example, how well does it hug the buoys in heat water or light chop? Does it hold it's line or hop/push out? How much speed is scrubbed off in cornering compared to other sport hydro designs (more or less)? Is it faster or slower down the straights?

As a racer, I love the idea of having and racing canard but want to understand if lane one lap times are better or worse than other racing hydro hulls.
